Katnet vs Pingly

katnet is a network discovery and connectivity toolkit for IT Professionals. See which hosts are online, which ports respond, and what each device advertises-then jump straight into SSH or VNC when you need a terminal or remote desktop. Discover devices Run a TCP sweep across your subnet (with a sensible default port set, or your own list). Results merge with Bonjour browsing and SSDP/UPnP-style hints so cameras, printers, NAS boxes, and servers show up with clearer context. Enrichment includes lightweight probes where appropriate (for example HTTP, TLS certificate summaries, SSH banners, and SNMP where reachable) to build a richer fingerprint-without sending your scan results to us. Built-in clients Use SSH for shell access and VNC for remote screen sharing to machines you are authorized to manage. A URL test tab helps verify HTTP/HTTPS reachability and status. A Status view summarizes local addressing and network context. Privacy katnet is built for on-network, on-device use. Discovery talks to your routers, printers, and servers over local Wi-Fi or Ethernet. You control when scanning runs. Grant Local Network access when iOS asks so multicast, Bonjour, and LAN probes can work. Important Only scan networks and systems you own or have explicit permission to test. Unauthorized scanning or access may violate law or policy.

Pingly is a small, fast network tool for people who want to know what their connection is actually doing. Type in a host or IP, watch the ICMP replies come back in real time, and keep a running score on your Internet quality. If you chase latency for work, hunt down lag before a match, or just have a Wi-Fi connection you don't trust, Pingly gives you the real numbers as they happen. PING ANY HOST • Real ICMP echo requests, the same kind the ping command sends • A live reply stream with sequence number, packet size and round-trip time • Running stats: sent, received, lost, loss %, min, avg, max and jitter • Quick-pick hosts, and switching targets starts a fresh session • Color-coded latency, so a slow reply is easy to spot INTERNET QUALITY MONITOR • A running 0-100 connection score with a letter grade from A+ to F • A live breakdown of latency, jitter, packet loss and stability • A scrolling signal graph and a one-line, plain-English read on how things look • Pause, resume, or switch targets whenever you want SONAR · AUDIBLE PING • A tone for every reply, pitched by round-trip time - fast replies ring high, slow ones drop low • A healthy connection sounds like a steady, high chime, so a latency spike is a note you can hear fall • Timeouts and dropped packets get their own distinct downward thud • A live tone-bar strip that scrolls along with the stream • Four voices to choose from sine, triangle, square or pluck • Leave it running with the screen off; it respects the mute switch SESSION HISTORY • Every ping run is saved automatically • A latency chart and full stats for each one • Save the hosts you use most for one-tap pinging • Recent sessions with small sparklines so you can scan them fast SETTINGS • Set the ping interval, packet size and timeout • System, Light or Dark appearance • Monospaced, tabular numbers that hold steady as they update PRIVACY • No account, no ads • Nothing leaves your phone. Pingly only pings the hosts you point it at. That's the whole app. It just tells you how your connection is doing.
